once it is, we'll have a serious debate about foreign policy. fareed, if it comes down to obama and romney, who wins that debate? >> oh, i think obama's got a very strong record on foreign policy. look, when he came into office -- the united states had 140,000 troops in iraq. was, remember, was ride lid disliked around the world. we are large parts of the world thinking we had ignored them in a kind of obsession with terrorism. and in three years, he's down down the troops in iraq from 140,000 to zero. troops are beginning to draw down in afghanistan. and meanwhile, the counter-terrorism part of the policy, the hitting al qaeda has been spectacularly successful. most of al qaeda's top leadership has been killed and most importantly, osama bin laden has been killed. now he's pivoting to asia, the place where the future of american prosperity will be and focusing on that. so he's got a pretty strong record. i think what romney will find difficult is that the old republican tactic of attacking democrats for being weak isn't going to work because on

yesterday he called the president's foreign policy, quote, feckless, very, very strong words. and also just politically it is interesting that you're going to have these two men together, mitt romney having no foreign policy experience. he is a governor, former eer governor, and he's going to be standing with somebody who obviously is well-known, legendary for his experience on the foreign policy stage and that is john mccain. maybe he's going to try to get some foreign policy street cred, if you will, from john mccain today. >> and both men who wanted the president's job. thank you. >>> if you're enjoying the long weekend along the southwest coast, no need to tell you you're probably getting soak. tropical storm beryl made landfall overnight near jacksonville, florida. knocked out power to thousands, washed away festivities, and it was very close to being a hurricane when it hit land. but it's weakened to a tropical depression. i want to bring in jacqui jeras to talk about where this storm is now. >> well, it's inland over north florida moving into georgia, and the timing of
